Join Sam, Little Matt, Lance, and Big Matt in a funny and competitive Thanksgiving episode of the Dad Lounge podcast.

In this five-round Thanksgiving Draft, the dads battle it out to create the ultimate holiday meal lineup, choosing from one main dish, two sides, a dessert, and a cherished Thanksgiving tradition.

There's a random draft order, questionable strategies, plenty of trash talk, and unexpected twists as they vie for the title of Champion of the first, of many(?), Dad Lounge draft.

Tune in for laughs, family fun, and a festive showdown that celebrates the quirks and joys of Thanksgiving through the eyes of four competitive dads.

Let the draft—and the fun—begin!

Cue dramatic music… It’s been a minute (or a few hundred thousand dad jokes) since the Lounge last cracked open its doors. But after a fresh coat of paint, a rebrand, and probably a few arguments over font choices, Dad Lounge is officially in business!

Sam, Lance, and Big Matt—armed with scissors, swagger, and probably snacks—cut the ceremonial ribbon and kicked off the maiden voyage of the newly dadified Lounge. There was laughter. There were introductions. There were kid counts. (Spoiler: they’ve got enough children between them to start a small soccer league.)

Family dynamics were discussed. Dad wisdom was dispensed. And then—like a plot twist in a time-travel movie—Sam dropped the Mandela Effect bomb. “Wait… didn’t Pikachu have a black tail?” Cue confusion. Cue existential crisis. Cue Sam guiding the crew through a rabbit hole of misremembered logos and alternate realities.

To bring it all home, the trio swapped tales of their adventures to the Most Wonderful Place on Earth—Disney World. There were churros. There were meltdowns. There was magic. And probably matching t-shirts.

All in all, it was the perfect way to relaunch the Lounge—with laughs, lore, and a little bit of dad-induced chaos.

Tune in, buckle up, and ENJOY!
